This study aims to adapt and examine the psychometric properties of the Self-Compassion Scale for Youth (SCS-Y) for the Indonesian sample.The adaptation process followed International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines, including translation, expert and peer review, cognitive interview, and pre-final Indonesian version.The SCS-Y, developed by Neff et al. ( 2021), consists of 6 dimensions of self-compassion with 17 items.After item discrimination analysis, 2 items were identified as poor and eliminated, leading to the further analysis of 15 items.The study involved 337 early adolescents aged 11 -15 years, enrolled in junior high schools in Indonesia.The reliability test (Cronbach's Alpha α = .716)showed the scale is reliable.Construct validity was confirmed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, with all 15 items being significant (p < .001.The study supports the applicability of the SCS-Y for early adolescents in Indonesia.
